Cornnie Corner Seating

Cornnie Corner Seating is an innovative furniture design series that revolutionizes the concept of personal space within shared environments through its thoughtful approach to corner utilization. Designed by Wen-Hsin Tu, this Golden A' Design Award-winning collection addresses the growing need for individual retreat spaces in increasingly open architectural layouts. The design comprises a sophisticated arrangement of seating elements specifically engineered for corner spaces, featuring distinctive curved legs that create a harmonious dialogue between the furniture and its architectural context. Crafted using bendable plywoods that are precision-milled through CNC technology and carefully glued and pressed on custom molds, the seating collection measures 1200mm x 700mm x 850mm when all three pieces are assembled. The design's philosophical underpinning challenges the conventional notion that social spaces must prioritize constant interaction, instead acknowledging the fundamental human need for occasional solitude and personal space. Through its innovative form and functionality, Cornnie Corner Seating transforms traditionally underutilized corner spaces into meaningful zones of retreat without creating physical barriers between occupants. The design's unique approach to spatial interaction earned it the prestigious Golden A' Design Award in the Furniture Design category, recognizing its exceptional contribution to addressing contemporary social dynamics through innovative furniture design. The seating collection demonstrates remarkable versatility in various architectural contexts, from public spaces to private environments, offering users a novel way to experience their surroundings while maintaining a delicate balance between isolation and connectivity.
